It doesn't help that our culture - especially internet culture - loooooooves self-deprecating 'humor'. We even put ourselves down for putting ourselves down! I've had a lot of success with trying to focus more on my triumphs than my failures. It's all about the language I use with myself, I've found. When I have a victory (even a small one), I say "Good job! You nailed it!". When I fail, I say "Well, that sucked....but you'll get it next time. Keep trying!". Most of us don't have our own personal cheerleaders, so we have to become our own. :)

Emulate honorable people instead of popular people.

Never use 'telling the truth' as an excuse to speak without thought or compassion.

You are 100% responsible for what you say and what you do. Own your shit.

If someone is trying, but struggling - encourage them. If someone is struggling, but not really trying - encourage them.

Don't waste your time trying to 'be a leader' or climb any corporate ladders. Just do your job and be kind, generous, truthful and compassionate. What is meant for you will be for you.

Read. A lot. From actual books. As many as you can get your hands on.

Stop putting yourself down. Seriously, it's not fucking helping you. AT ALL.

When you reveal yourself to be a bigoted, hateful person, most evolved and compassionate people tend to dislike you.

'Christmas Shoes'. Google it.

I will stay my Hammer of Vengeance just this once.....and agree that he is a very accomplished and talented actor.....who just happens to be Gandalf, not Ian McKellan. ;)

[–] Fletcher 3 points 5 days ago

While he did a decent job with Magneto, I would say that his Gandalf is far more recognized.

[–] Fletcher 1 points 5 days ago (2 children)

True, but I would argue that none are as widely recognized as Gandalf.

Why do you think the fascists try so hard to keep them divided and fighting each other?

Screaming into my boss' face during a heated and un-warranted argument that my co-worker initiated. In all honesty, my boss was in the right in this particular instance. Co-worker never did apologize, to my knowledge. All I can say is my boss has a lot of patience...

Ian McKellan is Gandalf, and I will fight anyone to the death who disagrees.

Exactly. Not encouraging violence, encouraging ACTIVISM. I fucking love it!

 

Granted, I really don't know much about how all this works, but the thought occurred to me that Lemmy - as wonderfully open as it is, and without any kind of 'disappearing messages' or other privacy protecting functionality - is basically a smorgasbord for AI scrapers. Or am I (hopefully) wrong about this?

 

Homestar Runner....those were simpler times.

 
  • GAME SYSTEM: Cypher System (fantasy, sci-fi or horror - no supers), Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 4th edition

  • PLAYER OR GAME MASTER: I'd like to play for a change, but have extensive experience with GMing.

  • ONLINE OR IN-PERSON: Online

  • VTT SOFTWARE: I've used Roll20 a lot, but am open to other VTTs as long as they aren't too expensive.

  • SCHEDULE: I'm in the PST (GMT-8) timezone, and I'm available in the evenings during the week from 6pm to 10pm. On the weekends, I'm available any time after 2:30pm.

  • EXPERIENCE: I've been playing various systems (like D&D, Savage Worlds, Call of Cthulhu, Shadowrun, Vampire the Masquerade, Warhammer FRP and my current favorite - the Cypher System/Old Gods of Appalachia!) for years and have been fortunate to play with many groups. I have been the GM for most of that time.

  • OTHER DETAILS: I'd like to find a nice, casual group of adults with a good sense of humor and the good sense to keep real-world politics and religion away from the (virtual) game table. I consider myself a 'story-first' kind of player, meaning that combat and min-maxing aren't huge priorities for me. I don't mind adult content in the games I play, so long as everyone is respectful and mindful of the comfort levels of everyone playing. As a player, I respect the hours that my GM has invested into providing me with entertainment, and will show up on time to every game session (barring emergencies). At the end of the day, I just want to tell great stories and get immersed in a fun world with some good friends. Let's play!
